Japan’s NTT Communications has agreed to buy a 74% share in Indian-managed IT hosting and colocation services provider Netmagic Solutions. The buy-out, which is subject to the sanction of Indian authorities, will enable NTT Com to expand and speed up its cloud services offering via ICT infrastructure across Asia.
